Pir Panchal upper reaches receive snowfall

Inclement weather conditions led to the suspension of traffic on historic Mughal Road, while power supply was also hit in some areas of Rajouri and Poonch districts.

Light rainfall and snowfall which lashed the upper reaches of Pir Panchal range led to the fall in temperatures and disrupted the normal life.

Meanwhile reports said that power supply in many villages was hit due to rainfall and faults in power distribution network whereas unscheduled curtailment of power was also reported from urban belts of the twin districts due to snapping of wires and power load.

"Higher reaches of both Rajouri and Poonch are receiving fresh snowfall since this morning with some areas of higher reaches even having two feet of snow accumulated" reports revealed.

Due to snowfall, temperature has also registered a sharp decline leading to cold wave conditions.
